some home brew (beer, mead, wine, cider, etc) or some craft brew to
share. This month we will have the final voting for the 2010 Board of
Directors. If you have not yet voted you can do so by replying to the
Ballot email I sent last week or by voting at the meeting. There will
also be our usual Best of Show voting, Tasting Panels, and a raffle ($1 or 1
bottle of beer per ticket). Here is a <a

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>For
those that have not heard, we are participating with New Belgium Brewery in a
charity concert being held at the brewery on Sunday December 13th. Kyle
Hollingsworth, the keyboard player for String Cheese Incident, will be playing
with his band. There will be food and a silent auction for some cool items.
All proceeds will benefit the Larimer County Food Bank, which is also our
chosen charity. Kyle’s manager reached out to us and asked us to participate.
We have brewed a 20 gallon batch of Chocolate Mint Porter for this event, by
request from Kyle. Tickets will be limited and I know there are some left.
See the attached document for more info including the website for tickets.
Let’s get a good Poets crowd there in support of good music, good beer
and the Food Bank! If you know of anyone else that might be interested, please
share this information.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
